The sewing is done and all the paper removed. The filling is a granulate filling (I use it also for filling teddybears) The result is half a football with flowers..a bit weird but funny though. I might try this again and fill it with fiberfill to feel the difference.More information if you are interested in geometry: here you can find more information about figures in the geometry. This figure is called an archimedean solid (well this is half the figure of course) The football ( like here on wikipedia) consist of only hexagons and pentagons.

After the top was dry I sewed this floral fabric, which I bought at Sampler, quiltshop in Haarlem, like most of the fabrics for this project, to the back with the machine like you make a cushion cover. The last bit I sewed by hand.

And this is the result!!!! I'm happy she is finished. I learned that I can make more than I thought I could. Honest to say I wasn't sure I could do this, because of all the little details in the applique. I learned a lot.

And the lastpicture. (Taken inside with flashlight)The size is:87 cm by 87 cm ( 43,5 inch by 34,5 inch) I want to say a big thank you to Esther Aliu for giving so many people the opportunity to use her patterns for free. If you want to learn more look here.
